Getting ExtraTime when doing multiple actions

Post by ezeeckiel »

Hello dear,

Would it be possible to gain some seconds when performing multiple actions ?
Say, I get one more action thanks to an eagle. People would very much appreciate to gain I don't know 30 seconds. Sometimes time is very limited in Ark Nova to do all you need to do.
cheers

If it were possible, I'd rather just have a stipend for the whole game. Some turns take a second, some I like to plan. Like in chess some turns take a second, some take 110 minutes.

it would be great, last time i get x2 on animals plus eagle and hypnosis and i almost got time out, should be a button for 1 time use only to grant 1 minute or 2 for your turn

We do read this, yes. You can submit a suggestion on the same page that you submit a bug. But do a search first, because one or more already exists.

Thanks. I've read that whole thread, and the proposed solutions it links to. I have the following suggestion. I don't know what BGA is technically capable of in this regard:

Any action bonus ( e.g. determination, hypnosis) also gives a bonus turn's worth of time, and needs to be confirmed so you can't take it back.

I appreciate all the admins do, and this doesn't affect me, because a) I generally play turn-based b) I think it should be an instant loss if you go over time, like in Chess. Chess is notorious for blunders before the time control (e.g. Caruana just blew his chance at a world championship by playing sub-optimally in time pressure). If you chose to play fast and know you have a mega last turn, blitz it out without concern that you're not blundering.
